Roshel has 25% as many beads as Zoe. Zoe has 130% as many beads as Natalie. If Zoe gives 66 beads to Natalie, both will then have an equal number of beads. Find the average number of beads the three of them have.

Total number of beads that Zoe and Natalie have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Zoe gives to Natalie, both of them will have the same number of beads.
The total number of beads that Zoe and Natalie have remains unchanged.
Number of beads that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of beads that Zoe gives to Natalie
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 6 = 11
Total number of beads that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of beads that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 11
= 385
Answer(s): 385
